✞ ✞ ✞ GODS GRACE ✞ ✞ ✞ I did not know His love before The way I know it now I could not see my need for Him My pride would not allow. I had it all, without a care The “self-sufficient” lie My path was smooth, my sea was still Not a cloud was in my sky. I thought I knew His love for me I thought I’d seen His grace I thought I did not need to grow I thought I’d found my place. But then the way grew rough and dark The storm clouds quickly rolled The waves began to rock my ship I found I had no hold. The ship that I had built myself Was made of foolish pride It fell apart and left me bare With nowhere else to hide. I had no strength or faith to face The trials that lay ahead And so I simply spoke His name And bowed my weary head. His loving arms enveloped me And then He helped me stand He said, “You still must face this storm But I will hold your hand.” So through the dark and lonely night He guided me through pain I could not see the light of day Or when I’d smile again. Yet through the pain and endless tears My faith began to grow I could not see it at the time But my light began to glow. I saw God’s love in a brand new light His grace and mercy, too. For only when all self was gone Could Jesus’ love shine through.
